About the Science Multimedia Center

In the Science Multimedia Center, we've gathered a variety of special features with a multimedia bent, to provide access to science not only in words but also in images, sound, and motion. Most of the material accessed from this gateway is free to all users of the site. Here's a description of the main portal areas:

Science Podcast. These are weekly online audiocasts built around interesting stories in Science and its sister sites.

Images and Slide Shows. These presentations showcase striking images or interesting photo essays associated with content on the Science sites.

Videos and Seminars. This section includes video presentations tied into Science special issues, other particularly interesting supplemental video from Science research papers, and the Science Online Seminars -- a joint project of AAAS's Office of Publishing and Member Services and the firm Biocompare, in which authors of selected breakthrough research papers discuss their work.

Interactives. Enhanced Web versions of posters, illustrations, and other material.
